Manalapan, Florida

Manalapan Real Estate

There are only two locations on Florida's South East Coast where one can live in a single- family estate home on the ocean and enjoy property that extends all the way to the Intracoastal Waterway where your yacht awaits at the dock.

Manalapan is one very special place. Manalapan is a hidden gem, tucked mid-way along South Florida's coast between the sprawling estates of tony Palm Beach, and the more glitzy condominiums and clubs of Boca Raton.

Residents of Manalapan are low key and value their privacy. The small community runs like a well-made Swiss watch.

Manalapan residents past and present include: Yanni; trial attorney F.Lee Bailey and Publisher, Generoso Pope.

Manalapan may be the ideal seaside address. A very rare opportunity to own land that includes both the Atlantic beach and the deep water Intracoastal Waterway. Awaken to the the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean. Spend an evening on at your private dock and watch the sun over the wide and tranquil Lake Worth Lagoon. Manalapan truly offers the best of all worlds-low-density waterfront and beachfront living, yet convenient nearby shopping and a posh new five- star Ritz Carlton.

Less than 300 single-family homes comprise this beachside island hamlet bordered by Lantana to the north and the Boynton Beach Inlet to the south.

Luxury Waterfront Estate in Manalapan Sells for More than Six Million

December 17, 2012

Luxury real estate prices are going up across South Florida but there are a few deals left among some of the most prestigious properties. In the height of the real estate boom in 2007 the historic Casa Alva estate, originally owned by the Vanderbilt family was put on the market for twenty three million. It didn’t sell.

 

The owner of the luxury estate, Mayor William “Bill” E. Benjamin II and his wife, Maura decided to try again this year and put the estate on the luxury real estate market for nine point eight million. It recently sold for six point eight million.

 

Casa Alva was designed by society architect Maurice Fatio in 1935 for Consueulo Vanderbilt Balsan, the former Duchess of Marlboro. The magnificent Mediterranean style 26,177 square feet, seven bedroom residence was named after Consuelo Balsan’s mother, and is located on 5 acres of land with about 500 feet of direct lake frontage.

 

In a 2010 article in the Daily News, Maura Benjamin described the antique boiserie in the master suite’s sitting room, for instance, as a fine example of French Millwork. “It’s Regency from Paris, and because of the depth of the carving, it’s extraordinary.”

 

She also noted: “Though I’ve lived here for many years, I’ll be on the phone and I’ll notice architectural features – something as simple as a door handle – and think how beautiful it is. Something as plebian as the Cuban-tile-floors-they are beautifully preserved.”

 

The new owner of this magnificent home located in Manalapan is Gary W. Parr, vice chairman of the Lazard Ltd. financial advisory and asset-management firm.

 

Parr is chairman of Venetian Heritage and has supported a variety of restoration and preservation projects, according to Internet sources. It is believed that he will restore the Casa Alva back to its original beauty and glamour.
